Got you. Still, the ability to have this tightly in the main flow as a
plugin definitely is a worthwhile approach.

OK, cool, thanks Darxus. :)  So this whole thread highlights, what you
explicitly mentioned on your plugin hosting site already. Having
internal and trusted (forwarding) networks correct is particularly
important.

This does have an effect on accepting the code for upstream inclusion.

We either need to ensure, anyone using the plugin for reporting in the
future has the trust path correct -- or there are counter-measures and
aids in place on the receiving side. IMHO, this is crucial to ship the
code, even without enabling it by default.


Also, as I mentioned before, this is material and a valid feature
request for the next stable branch, 3.4, currently trunk. Code changes
in the current stable branch 3.3 need a lot more demand, and careful
review of the entire topic and code. Which, as just shown, still has to
be ironed out.
